Cost-Effectiveness of Double Reading versus Single Reading of Mammograms in a Breast Cancer Screening Programme
OBJECTIVES The usual practice in breast cancer screening programmes for mammogram interpretation is to perform double reading. However, little is known about its cost-effectiveness in the context of digital mammography. Our purpose was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of double reading versus single reading of digital mammograms in a population-based breast cancer screening programme. METHO...
متن کاملComputer-aided detection versus independent double reading of masses on mammograms.
PURPOSE To evaluate the use of a computer-aided detection (CAD) system (designed for mammographic mass detection) to help improve mass interpretation and to compare CAD results with independent double-reading results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Screening mammograms from 500 cases were collected; 125 of these cases were screening-detected cancers, and 125 were interval cancers. Previously obtained ...
متن کاملConsensus double reading of mammograms was more effective and less costly than single reading
In the analysis by Brown and colleagues that compared the current rnammography reading policy at St. Margaret's Hospital (double reading with consensus required for recall) with 2 alternative hypothetical strategies, the authors showed that the current strategy used is the most cost-effective. 2 elements of this study must he considered when attempting to generalise the conclusions to other set...

متن کاملEffectiveness and cost-effectiveness of double reading of mammograms in breast cancer screening: findings of a systematic review.
There is a lack of direct evidence on the effectiveness of double reading of breast screening mammograms within the context of national screening programmes even though about half of the countries that use mammography screening have implemented double reading. A systematic review was conducted to compare double reading with single reading of mammograms for screening accuracy, patient outcomes a...
